Retiring (again)

[Keith Seymore]

Since I have a minute I thought I would mention that I will be retiring from the automotive industry (this time I mean it).

Nissan has informed me that my contract will not be renewed effective 5/1/2025. My last day will be 4/30/2025. I was already planning to be done 8/29/2025 so this just pulls it ahead a bit.

If my “pre-retirement practice days” (aka “vacation days”) are any indication it appears my time will be spent napping, eating and ignoring lingering projects in the house and garage. I really should be putting the Chevelle back together after a big build winter and I'm in the middle of a bathroom remodel that needs finishing up. After that we'll see. My wife claims she can support me in the manner to which I have become accustomed but I don't think she really knows how expensive car parts are.

Final tally is 39 years 7 months at GM and a couple days shy of 6 years at Nissan, for those keeping score. This will be my longest break since the summer between my junior and senior years of high school.
